Been a while, hasn't it, ol' son?

Loram Landret the Breathtaker

* Gender: Female

* Species: Grayrat


 * Age: 21


 * Origin (Place Of Birth): The Northland


 * Appearance: A lean, pretty, gray-furred ratess with bright, wild blue eyes and a big white smile. She has two long, ugly scars crisscrossing her face, starting on either cheek and meeting at her forehead, as well as a smaller scar cut across her chin and several others across her chest, back, and smaller ones on her arms, legs and tail. She also wears a necklace made of twine that bears a rat tooth carved with a protective symbol- an all-seeing eye. The necklace was her mother's, with the rat tooth belonging to the first wycham of their tribe, Loram's ancestor.


 * Clothing: She wears a faded crimson tunic beneath a brown, fur-trimmed leather jacket and matching belt both made of snowshoe hare. It's said her tunic earned its red color from its owner soaking it in blood.


 * Weaponry: She carries a strong-hafted, iron-headed spear rusted with blood that she usually carries propped against one shoulder, as well as a long, gently-curved skinning knife and a broad-bladed cutlass at her belt.


 * Personality: Loram is an intelligent and brutal ratess well-accustomed to a life of desperation and survival at any cost. She kills whenever she deems it necessary and is quick to jump to violence to get her way, but having never fallen to the Bloodwrath herself, she is capable of taking a cautious and thoughtful approach when fighting and solving her problems.


 * Background/History:  Loram learned to be brutal and cruel almost since birth. Raised in a once mighty and unified tribe that had long since been ruined following the outbreak of Bloodwrath by the time she'd been born, Loram fought tooth and nail for even the tiniest chance of survival even despite being the daughter of the tribe's wycham Kieram Landret, a once feared and respected position.

Abused and neglected by her mother Kieram, who had long since snapped from the Bloodwrath, Loram was eventually forced to kill five of her other siblings out of defense or over food, and even devoured one of them when the broken tribe experienced famine during the winter when Loram was fourteen.

Her mother Kieram, who had until that point physically kept her daughter from leaving the doomed and blood-soaked campsite, attempted to kill her growing and increasingly desperate and powerful daughter upon seeing her devouring her brother's remains. The two rats fought for several hours before Loram managed to finally dispatch her parent, carved and cooked her flesh as meat for the journey, and left, with her mother's spear across one shoulder.

Wandering, fighting and scavenging, Loram eventually fell in with several different bands of fellow verminous survivors throughout her travels in the North. By the time she was nineteen, she'd founded her own band, whom she'd dubbed the Breathtakers after the own title she'd earned- "the Breathtaker"- for her knack for "stealing the breath" of others by killing them.

By twenty-one, she and her band of five had made their way down into Mossflower for fatter pickings, killing, robbing and (whenever food runs out) consuming the flesh of sentient creatures while Loram also attempted to find an answer for the Bloodwrath (or, "the Madness", as she calls it) that everyone she'd ever known had experienced for so long. Loram might've been a violent and merciless ratess well-accustomed to taking life, but she had never fallen to Bloodwrath herself.


 * Affiliation (Group): The Breathtakers, a band of five occasionally cannibalistic vermin.
